About The Artwork

By-Catch For The Future Generations. A family of three polar bears are looking back at humans, with a long stare of frustration, while Hawling a vast catch of fish for supper, along with unwanted plastics and fishing trawlers, role reversal. Artwork created and shared in December 2018, at this time a local Cornish fisherman took a film of himself with I believe a lovely catch of Bass and throwing them back in against his will due to laws. By-catch a term used in the fishing industry to describe an unwanted catch of fish that has often been wastefully thrown back in to the ocean. This painting was inspired by these circumstances and I went on to tag relevant politicians and use musical lyrics to describe how ludicrous the system seems to be at times. Following this piece, a huge fine was issued to a small group of millionaires based in the UK, who essentially own and are leading in the fishing industry.

The natural world is the source of my inspiration, the sounds of the ocean, beach and dunes evocative of childhood memories in Cornwall. In recent years during many hours of river/ocean rowing and competing on Cornish shores, my work has evolved lending amazing transparency, fluidity & reflections to my artworks, the adrenaline, energy, salt spray and high winds creating my style of 'Tidalmarks'. The environment and impacting political issues caused by man-made pollution is a driving force for new and emerging work. . I donated a painting to the 'Save our sands' community group, Hayle, Cornwall, in April 2011, following 20 tons of sand being over dredged and killing the dune system. Further to this, my work has been a tribute to my late mother who was an environmental scientist and in June 2015 'The Summer Exhibition', held on national beach clean day June 2016, at Stisa, St Ives. Landscapes have been a starting point, however, I have also been researching and investigating the news and diverse cultural approaches to pollution and Climate change, due to poverty these issues will always be subjective to finance first, but living in harmony with nature is the future and small changes make a big difference, it's surely about how we reach these objectives together globally, putting differences aside, such a big ask I know. But I have to believe for my children and the future generations that we have to #bethechange. #makeadifference
